FULL COMP: The Voice of the Restaurant Industry Revolution

The global pandemic brought tragedy to our industry but, and I think this needs to be said, it brought opportunity as well. Restaurant owners and operators saw the pandemic as a catalyst for change and so did some of the organizations that support us.
Today's guest is Clare Reichenbach, the CEO of the James Beard Foundation. We talk about the evolution of our industry and the evolution of the foundation over the last 20 years and, especially, the last 24 months.
For more on how the James Beard Foundation can support you and your restaurant, go to https://www.jamesbeard.org/
FULL COMP is brought to you by Yelp for Restaurants: In July 2020, a few hundred employees formed Yelp for Restaurants. Our goal is to build tools that help restaurateurs do more with limited time.
